East and West could not agree So the generals gave call Gathered troops at the border With guns unready Drowning aim Insiders praying to a god That blessed them with strength and courage And it was in his name Artillery lit the sky on fire The people sang protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone When the battle raged on Sirens filled the air And the ground shook with roar Civilian casualties had been accost And was predetermined When Indian foreign port Victims put in frustration They claimed that this was a war Without a reason And bureaucrats engaged in debate To try to reach a resolution The people sang protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone When the battle raged on All the progress like the prayers Went unanswered and ignored God like the rest of the world Just watched in silence There was purpose to be served There was fortunes to be earned Before a peace could be found To stop the fighting They sang protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Protest songs In response to military aggression Protest songs Trying to stop the soldiers gone Without a red sun
